Portuguese are European, or "white". They are a Hispanic race, coming from the Iberian Peninsula, but would, today, be considered white. Southern Europeans, mainly Portuguese, Spaniards, and Italians, were not always considered white and were socially/politically excluded as were Africans in the US.
